Senator LUDWIG (Queensland—Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry and Minister Assisting on Queensland Floods Recovery) (14:50): Again, I reject the premise that is underlying that question. If you look at the headline Treasury modelling results, the government stands by those modelling results. It was one of the most extensive and robust economic modelling exercises ever performed in Australia. Treasury modelling confirms that with a carbon price, growth in the Australian economy will be decoupled from growth in carbon pollution. It projects that under the carbon price, strong economic growth will continue, gross national income is projected to grow by 1.1 per cent to 2050, income will grow, real income per person is projected to increase by 9,000 per year from today's levels to 2020, and employment will grow with 1.6 million new jobs created by 2020. Pollution will fall by 2050; carbon pricing is expected to reduce Australia's domestic emissions by nearly half of what they would be without a carbon price. Senator Birmingham: Mr President, I rise on a point of order going to relevance. The minister has again absorbed most of the time. The question was specific to domestic emissions. The minister has prattled on about everything else that might have been contained in the Treasury modelling, but has come nowhere close to talking about domestic emissions. I know that Senator Wong would understand the question were she still answering it, but perhaps you could ask Senator Ludwig, now that he has had time to consult with Senator Wong, to actually answer the question. The PRESIDENT: There is no point of order. Minister, you have five seconds remaining. Senator LUDWIG: I did say, and I am sure Senator Birmingham was not listening: pollution will fall by 2050.
